How to foil on laser printed images.

[chipps1]

What a question!! The idea of this machine is to put foil onto handmade cards and wedding invitations. Having spent time and materials making the card why would I want to crumple it up?

[writing314]

hi, how durable is the finished product?? if i was to crumple up that piece of paper with the foil on would it crack or come off?? thanks

[DeSignsMadeByMe]

Can I buy foil from you. Do you have a website?

[pictureman1974]

[chipps1]

This system needs the paper or card to go through a laser printer. It will not work on leather.

[andarlola]

Please respond

Brilliant machine ! The Foil It machine gives professional, stunning results at an affordable price. Thank You !

[valenroldan7]

is it possible to do this if you print on another type of paper, say photographic or canvas? can you do this with an iron?

[chipps1]

@valenroldan7

Most papers which will go through your laser printer should be suitable for foiling. If you would like us to test a particular paper you could send us some printed samples to try. An iron is unlikely to give a good result.

can you tell me what am i doing wrong every time i put the foil on my laser printed ribbon and put it thrue the machine the foil ends up in the blank part of it too please help

[chipps1]

@37421255

Although I have never used ribbon througj this machine, I suspect you are using the wrong type of foil. It has to toner foil which will stick only to the print. Other foils have glue on the back and this would be released with the heat and stick to places other than the print.

hi i would like to know the price on this machine do you ship to arizona?

[puziwoozy]

thanks, i tried it with the hot stamping foil and it works great.

Cool video.

[puziwoozy]

So is it a hot stamping foil or there`s no glue at all?

[chipps1]

@puziwoozy

This is not the same as hot stamping foil. The foil used is called toner foil and works with the printed image or text from a laser printer. The laser toner melts when put through the foiling machine and this acts as the "glue" if you like.

[3dollarsp]

and is this a laminator or a fusser????

[3dollarsp]

where can i buy this???how much is it??ship to canada????PLEASE ANSWER

[jkflores]

what kind of FOIL do u use?..i think its not the same as the ordinary foil u can buy in any school n office supply stores...

[chipps1]

It must be toner foil for use with this machine. The images must be printed on a laser printer and the foil sticks to the toner.

Hello, I was wondering if it matteres what colour the toner is? Also around how much would one of these machines cost?

[Elmosfsa]

Bom dia!

Gostaria de adquirir essa máquina, vocês tem revendedores no Brazil?

[chipps1]

@Elmosfsa

Sorry I don't understand but I am guessing you are asking about sales to Brazil - if so the answer is no - we do not ship to Brazil and the machine probably works on a different voltage anyway.

Hello Kim the glittery stuff is called toner foil it sticks to the toner when heated as it goes through the Foil It machine

[Nadia1175]

@chipps1 hi,

thanks for the vid and for the info.

its very helpful.

I was wondering....would any laser printer work or is there a particular printer should be used.

[chipps1]

Hi Nadia

most laser printers are suitable but if you contact me direct by email (pat@patsymay.co.uk) I can send you a list of printers which we compiled by doing a customer survey.

@chipps1 i am guessing this is not an ordinairy thin piece of color fold from dollards store...

[chipps1]

@hitachi088

This is using special Toner Foil which sticks to the printed image from a laser printer. Not sure what you have available in the "dollar" store but it is unlikely to be the right kind of foil.

[KimKhoo]

what is the glittery material called??? i would like to get some of that....where can i get it? is it available at stationary shop??

[chipps1]

The foil only sticks to the toner.

So if you use a ink jet printer then pass it through a laser printer the foil will stick to the toner ad not to the ink

[sebastiansz]

Nice one! I have a question.... you have here a white background. What if you have a colourful background, but you don't want to make it glossy. You just want to apply the foil for the text only. Is it possible to make it? thanks for reply

[KIZZYWIZZ100]

The printing is fine on smooth paper but no good on heavy card for cards

[chipps1]

It does work best on smooth paper and card but it can also work on other textures if you no how to do it

[lessa121]

Do you have to use ultra smooth card or paper or can u use normal printing paper?

[chipps1]

@lessa121

Hi Lisa you can use all sorts of card and paper but because there is lots of diffrent card and paper some will not work.

Alan

[chipps1]

I'm sorry it took so long to reply, But I don't log into this e-mail very often.

The paper does not have to be ultra smooth and you can use different kinds of paper and card even some textured cards but it could mean trying different types
